I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

I never know which gospel song will play next from the couple thousand stored on the thumb drive in my car. 

Though I know most of them and they bless my journey, an unfamiliar one surfaced yesterday, causing me to pause. 

The flow and harmony was great, but the words “Safe Thus Far” left some doubt that the future may not be safe. 

Lest I be accused of blacklisting songs, today I googled the words, and author Kyla Roland shattered the doubt in Verse Two. 

“I stood in the face of stormy seas as they rolled apart. — I rested in peace as He spoke to my trembling heart. — And I really don't know what lies ahead, but i have no doubt no fear or dread; — Ill still be standing telling my story, safe thus far.”

Actually, this second verse is also my testimony. 

“Many Things about tomorrow, I don’t seem to understand, — But I know who holds tomorrow, — And I know who holds my hand.” — Ira Stanphill

Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
